Woman mauled by four 'hungry' pitbull dogs

A 47-year-old woman was attacked by four pitbull dogs of her neighbour while she was entering her house in Prachuap Khirikhan Friday, Thai Rath Online reported.

Suwin Boonthiam suffered cuts at her abdomen, neck, face, head and right thigh and was recovering at the Prachuap Khirikhan Hospital.

She said the four dogs climbed over the fence to attack her while she was walking into the home with her niece. Her brothe-in-law helped free her from the dogs and she ran inside the house before rescue officials of a foundation came to take her to the hospital.

The dogs also mauled her dog in the house's compound to death.

The dogs were raised by her neighbour, a policeman, who was admitted to a hospital since Wednesday and the dogs have not been fed since then, Suwin told police.
